Arbitrary time zones for 8.0 release

Folks,

We did the last release at 9am EST.   However, there's no particular reason
for that, except our NY, NY dateline.   Should we release in a different time
zone this time?    Does it matter?

East coast time seems to have the advantage of most of Europe still being
awake as well the west coast soon to wake up.  This covers a lot of the
postgresql user base, the big question is would you want AU/JP and that
region to release before 9 AM EST or after ?

(Course this assumes you want an official release time in one time zone,
rather than a rolling release time of say 9AM wherever folks are locally)
